Publisher's Synopsis
The Correspondence of Wagner and Liszt V2 is a book that contains a collection of letters exchanged between two great musicians, Richard Wagner and Franz Liszt. The book is edited by Francis Hueffer and is the second volume in the series. The letters in this volume cover the period from 1862 to 1882, which was a time of great creativity for both Wagner and Liszt. The letters provide a fascinating insight into the personal and professional lives of these two musical giants. They discuss their works, their ideas, their collaborations, and their personal relationships. The letters also reveal the struggles and challenges they faced in their careers and the support they provided to each other. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in classical music, the history of music, or the lives of these two great musicians.I can never complain to you again. I go on worrying you with my confidences in a sinful manner, while you keep your own grief to yourself. My troublesome candour knows no bounds; every drop of the fount of my sorrow I pour out before you, and--I must hope that that is the very reason why you are so silent as to your own circumstances. But I begin to feel that the best remedy for our sufferings is sympathy with those of others. My only sorrow today is that you hide your grief from my sympathy. Are you really too proud to let me know, or do you refrain from giving me back the painful impression I made on you with my complaints, because you were unable to assist me?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
